WEEK 6: Church
Cornerstone LifeGroup
Week of October 30, 2016
“CHURCH”
Open in prayer. Begin your discussion by reading the Key Verse a few times and then try and get the group to recite it from memory. Do the same with the Key Idea.
Key Verse: “Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” Ephesians 4:15
Key Question: How does God accomplish his purposes today?
Key Idea: I believe the church is God’s primary way to accomplish his purposes on earth.
ICE BREAKER:
What is the best advice you have ever received?
How many siblings do you have? Where do they live?
What are you devoted to?
Why are you here?
STUDY: Have someone read the following verses out loud
Read: Acts 2:42-43
Ask: What does the word devote mean? Do you do a “daily” devotion?
Read: Acts 2:44-45
Ask: How serious were they about meeting needs? What would this look like today?
Read: Acts 2:46-47
Ask: How does eating affect fellowship? How often do they get together?
Is the amount of time they meet important for fellowship?
Read: Romans 12:4-5
Ask: Do we need each other in the church? Do you know what your gift is? Why or why not? How do you discover what your gift is?
APPLICATION:
Ask: How is Cornerstone’s fellowship like and unlike the fellowship here?
Ask: How does this make you feel?
Ask: What could you do to help your church be more like this?
Ask: How will this example of church fellowship affect how you pray for your church?
Close in prayer and pray for your group throughout the week!
